Reminds me of: Priest: “You have been found guilty by the elders of the town of uttering the name of our lord as so as a BLASPHEMER you are to be stoned to death.” […] Priest: “BLASPHEMY! He said it again!” Old man: “I don’t think it ought to be blasphemy. I just said ‘Jehova’” Priest: “You said it again! You’re only making it worse!” Old man: “Making it worse!? How can I make it worse!? Jehova, Jehova, Jenova!” [VIDEO]
